That is true, although if I had a gun to my head about what was the film I'd rather watch it would be T1. T2 is the only worthy sequel IMO, although I have heard some surprising good words about The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Cars can't actually make jumps over hilly streets like in the movies. You will destroy your car if you try. I mention this because it's tempting, and looks super fun, but my friend Dave tried it in his 4-door Ford Taurus when we were kids and some of his wheels literally flew off when he landed. It wasn't even that tall of a hill in the road.
I don't doubt that's the case or that his research has found some legitimate results - sleep hygiene is absolutely important - but that is one scientist out of thousands. Others have found that melatonin in pill form causes issues in blood chemistry the following day, and we know that genetics (and people growing more old than ever before) is the main risk indicator for dementia.
Also 45 minutes a day (330 a week) exercise is the perfect amount to maintain health.
Over 45 mins a day gives diminishing returns.
Under 45 a day, and the more you sit per day, will cause long term health issues.
Doing 45 mins a day offsets countless health issues, from eliminating cholesterol to improving sleep to ensuring heart, brain, digestion and muscle health.
It was some massive landmark study recently which found 45 mins a day was the sweet spot. Huge sample size in the 10s of thousands or sth.
Love is a pact. Peak joy and love only comes with the stipulation it might come with heartbreak. It's worth it.
For people who do a lot of craft and cosplay:
When hot gluing large sections together, use binder clips to keep glued sections in place as you move on to other tasks. Because sitting there waiting for glue to dry is boring af.

That's depressing. 45 min in the morning is tough and doing it every day is even tougher. I can do 20-25min hard on the elliptical where I am sweating and totally out of breath. I've been shooting for 4-5 days/week. I sit the entire day (about 8 hours sitting) so that's really not good either.
Progress, not perfection, mate. You're already well ahead of millions of people.
I don't manage to do this every week either. It's a best-case. Doing 20 mins a day is still 1000% better than doing 0.
I found that looking for a 45-minute running route from your house and doing that each morning is the best way to get a routine. The door-to-doorness of running is awesome. It's important to do strength (weights), flexibility (yoga) and stamina (HIIT) too.
Nope. It actually acts as an insulator. I school people on that all the time in the summer lol
I love this post so damn much.
It's based off an old thread on the other place.
Or rent them from the library for free. That's what I do with the new Star Wars movies. Disney gets exactly zero of your dollars for that shit other than what the library paid for the copy, which is a sunk cost you have no control over.

I have another one that seems pretty obvious, but works well for me.
Whenever I need to remember bringing something with me, I will put it on top of something I will never forget. For example, I'm going to a concert tonight and need to bring my earplugs. I don't want to forget them, so I put the box with them on top of my wallet in my hallway.

The blades on a razor don't really dull, as much as they bend when you shave. You can straighten them back out by making the shaving motion, but moving the blade in the opposite direction, on a hairless surface. I just use my forearm. So in stead of pushing the blade down and pulling it, as you would when shaving, you press the blade down and push it, in the direction away from the edges on the blades. It really makes razorblades last a lot longer.
I would think there would be a problem of infinite regress here.
When reheating bread, if it's getting dry, wet your hand and rub the bread to get it just slightly wet.
If I make lunch to take to work, I tend to put my car keys on top of that container in the fridge. I've forgotten that stuff at home too many times and this is an ironclad way to prevent leaving without the lunch.
Go to self checkout and scan everything as bananas

I do something similar; I chuck it right in front of my door!
You can empty your plate into the toilet instead of garbage or sink if dealing with something that can clog your sink or smell up/leak from the garbage bag.
It's great to do with chunky sauces.

I'm assuming this is the face they're making.
Which, btw, is not envy.
As good as this is - you could actually carry two, and keep old/expired cards and $20 in the sacrificial wallet
Yeah, last week I put a usb stick on top of my watch on the night stand. Only after I got out of the door I discovered that I did't have the usb stick on me. It was sitting on the night stand. And I was wearing the watch... It's a good idea but I wouldn't recommend putting the item on something that will be grabbed a few minutes after waking up. :P
To avoid tears when chopping onions, get a teaspoon or wooden spoon and put it sideways in your mouth.
This forces you to breathe through your mouth meaning the fumes mostly avoid your nasal cavity
As someone who has been jogging with jingling keys all of his life I found this to be shockingly simple & effective:

Don't side pour your beer at home.
Dump that shit in there with reckless abandon and wait for foam to transform. If you're drinking a bunch of beers - especially heavier beers - you'll be less bloated, won't get tired if you're drinking over a longer period of time and feel better in the morning. I thought this was known but talking to coworkers and some buddies recently apparently not.

A simple and weird one I'm trying lately is getting a task done by pretending to do it. It's from my effort to combat procrastination of certain tasks recently.
If I have a paper to write for instance, my procrastination will kick in and think there is plenty of time before the deadline. Then I counter with, "Well, if i was to start writing now, how would I start?" My mind answers with, "By writing an outline like this." *starts writing an outline*
If there is resistance with an "I don't know", then I just keep asking questions to find out how to know. So on and so forth. My questioner side keeps persisting as my demonstrator side...well...demonstrates.
It might be a quirk that works for me since I frequently tutor. I just treat myself as the tutored subject this time.

I'm assuming they mean beyond the original movies (Ep 4-6 and T1-T2). I would hope nobody is dumb enough to say "don't watch ESB". :D
It is indeed odd that a post-pandemic bump is a tip about running outside. :D

Crazy you say that as since 2019 November I've been doing weights/calisthenics 3 x a week, yoga 7 x week and HITT 3 x a week. My health has definitely improved and can't see myself going back at all.
Thats Clever! Will use that! Also trying my best not to mention the life hack use meter
Scrambled eggs need to be beaten properly and put in a HOT pan with slightly browned butter. You are wrong and it definitely does not taste the same to have half mixed egg slur without any frying.
